JUDD TRUMP has moved another step closer to a tantalising prize and new world record.
It comes after he scored ANOTHER century during the World Snooker Championship.

Trump was in action in round one at the Crucible against Zhou Yuelong.
And during the first session taking place in the evening, Trump scored two centuries to edge closer to the World Snooker Tour bonus of £100,000.
He started brilliantly to win the first two frames, with the second of these seeing him rack up a score of 113.
That frame moved him up to 93 for the season.
But he then added a second century three frames later as he notched 117 to take his season tally to 94.
It means he needs just six more centuries to land the £100,000 bonus prize laid on for any star hitting a century of centuries during the season.
Trump, 35, is one of only two stars to have hit the stunning figure in his career.
His only other time achieving the feat came in the 2019/20 season, when he scored 102 centuries.

However, Trump is eclipsed by Australian cueist Neil Robertson, who scored 103 centuries in 2013/14.
Trump has the chance to eclipse that world record this season, but must stay in play for long enough at the World Snooker Championships to make it happen.
The snooker season ends when the world championships draw to a close.
He has made it to three Crucible finals in the past, winning one and losing two.
Most recently, he made the final in 2022.
But having won the UK Championship earlier this season, he is looking to win his second Triple Crown event of the year.
